During the past week MessrS. Yale
AID Young have been in the city ar
ringing for a plan of the Chicago,
Omaha & Southern railroad, to be sub
United to the voters of Dickinson
county. More railroads is what Abb
lene wants, but this thing of submit
eng railroad propositions at every
2Gange of the moon is getting to be too
- Ich like child play, and our business
men, and especially the voting class,
,-ould entertain no proposition unless
4 sufficient guarantee is given by cor
pUrations asking aid, to carry out their
propositions. The state is being flood
Cd with these wildcat railroad PROPOSE
tons, and it is high time the people
we're setting down ON them. Give the
people business like proposition, with
ABILITY and backing sufficient to carry
them out, then We believe the people
vii entertain them and give them what
Trey ask, but if this is not done, then
The people should rise up in their might
AID knock every one of these wildcat

II is ali well enough for a paper 10
boom town and to encourage emigra-
ton. but when it comes to ask
ing support for said paper from the real
estate men, it is then entirely differ
emit thing. If the editor labors to show
up the advantages of the city, and the
excellent lots in the new additions, and
how the taxes will be lowered by hay
ing said additions brought into the city,
then he is a good fellow and his paper
sugar-coated with fue words, but let
patronage be asked from these men, in
the way of booming their lots, etc.,
then the tune changes. Is this right I?
If the men who are engaged in plating
new additions, and VINO have real estate

them. let them return the compliment
mar more substantial way than tafy.

Hardly day passes but some gen.
tleman calls at our office to look
through the papers Of neighboring
cities for the name of some firm or ad-
vertiser with whom they may wish to
correspond. An advertisement in the
local papers not unfrequently benefits
a banker, real estate dealer, lawyer or
other firm, from this source alone more
than the advertisers may surmise. A
firm certainly has no means of know
ing to what an extent an advertisement
benefits them.

We gather from the New York STIR
that twenty states in which state cleo
tions were seriously contested in 1885,
show a net Democratic plurality Of a.
ISIS votes. InlSS4 the same states gave
a net Republican plurality of 1852
votes. This Democratic gain Of nearly
two hundred thousand is an indication
of the increased strength of the Demo
cratic party under the administration
of President Cleveland. We commend
these figures to the serious cOnsidera-
ton of the friends of Mr., Blaine.

While Board of Trades in the state
are trying to influence the legislature IN
the interest Of railroad corporations it
is high time the people were asserting
their privileges and right in this mat
ter by urging that law be passed to
prevent tie voting Of aid to railroad
corporations, especially in counties that
have from one to two roads. Ii such a
law cannot be passed, then let the bill
which is now before the legislature lin
iting the amount of aid to $1,000 per
mile instead OF $4,000 be passed, for
such a law would be in the interest of

Last Friday the Republicans of the
Nebraska legislature succeeded in elect

Wick. The Democrats, in allowing
Van Wyck to be defeated, Numbered,
and that badly, for his independent pro-
clivities were far preferable to Paddock,
an uncompromising Republican, and as
there was no possible chance OF electlng
Democrat, they should have voted for
Van Wyck to man.

"Incurberated,, Eggs Not wanted.

Il want dozen eggs, but want eggs
as is o.szss, and not none o. them as has bin
incurberated. -
This was the way a little old woman
made her wants known in a Second ave-
nue. grocery store this morning, and a re-
porter, who was by, asked her what she
meant by 'incurberated eggs" and was
surprised at her answer.
well, my boy James lives up to West
Schuyler in Herkimer county. He's got
quite smart place up there and raises
chickens. That is, he chucks a lot of eggs
into kind of a box, turns on the gas,
puts a thermometer into the box long
with the eggs, and then waits for 'em to
hatch. The eggs, though, that he puts in
the box are all examined first. He buys
em from farmers and puts 'em in the box,
which he calls an incurberator. If, after
bein' in this incurberator awhile, them
eggs don't show they are fertile he takes
em ont of the box and sends 'em to mar
ket. Now, them eggs don't want, fer /
don't believe they are good for nOthin'."
Inquiries developed the fact that the
Old woman was right, and that many eggs
sent TO market have been tested in incu-
batofs before they are shipped and been
found lacking in fertility.-New York

CHANGED to be IL y street car the other day
snd overheard two ladies conversing.
One of them said: ''Now, wasn't that
a delightful reception at Mr.. Blanks the
other afternoon? Yet the paper scarcely
mentioned it. Why, everybody was
there
Yes; but you know Mrs. Blank is in
mourning; and, of course, it wouldn't do
to have it in the papers. 1t wouldn't be
right, you know"
''No, of course not wonder l didn't
think of that
And thus they chatted. l couldn't help
but hear. TO my intense surprise l learned
that it was quite the thing for ladies in
mourning to give receptions, but under
the rose. Much I marveled thereat.
am opposed to mourning. We were not
put here to mourn. If our ideas of Chris
tianity are right, we haven't anything tC
mourn for on the death of a relative OF
friend, for they are better off. 1t is proper
and right to show the grief we feel on the
occasion, but to mourn for year or SO
and go around in this gay world looking
like a funeral procession is not right.
Therefore it struck me as peculiarly funny
that in the upper circles it is not cOnsid
cred wrong to brighten up the mourning
period with little enjoyment, but that ii
was wrong to let anybody know it. Yes,
this is a queer world, and lots of peculiar
people there are in Minneapolis Trib-

GOLD AND SILVER.


Along her fathers field they strayed,
All fecked with cOwSlipS yellow,
A little dainty gold haired maid,
a sturdy nine-year fellow.
And there loves course they two began
tAh, thorny path for treadingD,
And vowed when they were maid and man
The town should see a wedding,
Their golden curlS were blown and blent,
Through wafts of fragrance treading;
"And ON" they murmTred, wen content,
- Twill be golden weddingi'
"'Tis time,'' said he Ito claim her VOW"
And forth he went and found her;
But she was grown a beauty now,
And half the town was round her.
Il see, - says he, you don't want mer'
Though tears were ripe for shedding.
I'm glad your eyes are good says she.
All, where's that golden wedding?
He flung away, and left her there,
Such heart sore tear drops shedding,
And gossips cried in bland despair,
He's spoiled the rarest wedding!''
He sailed the seas, h beat the French,
Two score good years he tarried,
And then he thought, THAT little wench-
L wonder if she's married.
Next week a bluff old tar rolled past,
The gabled High street treGding,
And ancient gossips orowed, AT last
We're ike to have tie wedding!'
Shed waited for him forty years
The gray their locks were threading;
And some with smiles and some with tears,
Beheld their silver wedding.
